Quantum information explores how quantum mechanics principles influence information processing. Our research group focuses on the mathematical foundations of quantum information, particularly quantum (noncommutative) probability theory, which serves as the fundamental framework for this field. We also specialize in entanglement theory and its applications across multiple domains, including nonlocal games, quantum communication protocols, and quantum computing algorithm development.
